So, my boss's wife is having knee surgery today, so I'm at their house, watching the dogs, relaxing in a rocking chair, attempting to work on the perennial order. The Twilight Zone is on SyFy (agh dumb name change for that station), so it's entirely possible I'll be ordering some strange plants, but Rod Serling and I are getting along just fine.

BB and Seven (the doggies - German Shorthaired Pointers) are snoring on their beds, relaxed and happy. We've just come in from a runaround in the snow, and it is now sleep time. They're good girls. BB is either 5 or 6 now, and doesn't quite fit on my lap like she did when she was a puppy... We spent several April afternoons in the office together, before the store was opened, and she would nap on my lap. Scrappy, the tuxedo cat, and Winnie, their lovely blue-point traditional Siamese have come out of hiding as well. Lunchtime for everybody soon, I suspect.

In other, very exciting news, we will be closing on our house in the next two weeks!! Finally heard something from the realtors; they've both been pushing the bank pretty hard in the last month or so, and the long wait will be soon be over! Now we get to start shopping and planning for floors, and get back to looking at fridges and ovens. EEEEEYAY! It would be lovely to not pay double rent for a month, but I'm thinking mid-March will be the moving date... The last two February and first March weekends are full of SCA for me, but we'll make things work!

A different sort of workday...

YAY!

Keep in mind that you have lots of helpers ready to go, just give us the word and point to whatever needs to be schlepped.

Oh, and well done on the alternate work site...

Yay! Thank you thank you. The major packing will commence immediately following Birka. :)

I may be here tomorrow as well, and it also appears that it's a Twilight Zone MARATHON today, which makes me very happy. Just need to get the work done that I need to do, and stop playing with the dogs...

FYI the double-rent can be a LIFE SAVER if you need to do work on the house. When we bought our house we had a mattress set up on the 3rd floor (which was only added about 10 years ago, so it needed almost no work....we just ripped up all the crappy carpet and called it good) while the rest of the house became a bombed-out hulk of PROGRESS!! Plaster Dust, dirty carpet, wall paper removal, minor demolition, and our stuff was safe-and-sound at our Apartment.

Yeah, we *can* afford it, so we probably will keep the apartment through March because there is quite a bit of work to do.
